With branches in La Prairie and Boucherville, the Fisherman’s Shack already enjoys a good reputation on the South Shore of Montreal. It is now possible to treat yourself to some of its star dishes on the go, in Bromont.

Le Shack du Pêcheur Express is actually the brainchild of Patrick Lavallée, a good friend of Roxanne Ménard, owner of the two original restaurants. The institutional construction contractor first contacted his friend with the aim of revitalizing the Bromont franchise of La Belle Province — Mme Ménard is also a franchisee of the fast food chain. “I wondered why we couldn’t find a good plate of fish in Bromont,” explains Mr. Lavallée. So I proposed to Roxanne to create the Shack Express. »

The explosive poutine bang bang, with its lightly breaded coconut shrimp, offers a tasty mixture of salty and sweet and sour, with a cleverly dosed spicy touch.

While some dishes such as clam chowder are first cooked in a central kitchen that serves some of the branches of La Belle Province as well as those of Shack du Pêcheur, Jack Saloon and Poutine Co., others such as bowls Matane shrimp poké are unique to the Shack Express in Bromont.

The restaurateur not only accepted, but her son William became the chef of the place. The young man picked up the classics from the Fisherman’s Shack such as fish and chips, mac’n’cheese or lobster rolls, and he created a few unique dishes at the express counter such as fish tacos with pico de gallo, breaded coconut shrimp, not to mention the explosive bang bang shrimp poutine, a delicious salty and sweet and sour mix that is definitely worth the detour. We are happy to eat there in the 90-seat room with the look of a retro snack bar – this is the recommended formula if you really want to taste the crispy fries or the beer batter of fish and chips London. Otherwise, anything cooked with panko breadcrumbs holds up well for those who decide to eat at home or at the cottage.
If the Bromont Express Fisherman’s Shack shares its dining room with neighboring La Belle Province, this will not necessarily be the case for the next branches, because, yes, the project is to add others, first in Montérégie . To be continued !
